just a quick note to address your neophyte approach to arabic. Your use of Hans Wehr for the Quran demonstrates how much of a rookie you are.

Wehr's work is of modern arabic and his sources are modern works from which he built his lexicon. No one but someone with elementary understanding of language would use a modern lexicon to examine ancient work...hahahaha

You don't know what you are talking about - and you demonstrate that at every turn...
